Yes, you can leave Jaws on while doing a defrag. It doesn't create a log file, but you do have the option to save the results once the the defrag is finished.

I unloaded JAWS, but when defrag stopped, I couldn't get JAWS back, and had to manually restart the computer. Where might my defrag log be in Windows XP, and what might it be called? Or is there one? Thanks for any ideas.

On the Microsoft Tools submenu (I am talking about the Start menu and not in a Microsoft application), you will find 2 scanning options, document Imaging and document scanning. The document imaging options will scan your document into a MS-Word doc as an image which is just fine if you are sending something to a person who does not use a screen reader. If you want to create an accessible scanned document, you will need to use the Document scanning option. It does a pretty good job, but not as good as Kurzweil or openbook. Another option for scanning software that is not all that expensive is text Cloner Pro put out by Premier Software. It can be found at readingmade easy.com You must use your own screen reader with Text Cloner Pro if I remember correctly.

For example, I scan a letter into my computer, then email it as an attachment to you. How easy is it to be read? Well Cathie, The answer to your question depends on how you (or anybody) scanned the document. Personally, I have Kurzweil 1000 and would use that to scan a document to save and attach as a text file -- this is quite accessible. I also have an HP multi-function printer/scanner/copier with dedicated software that will allow me to "take a picture" of a document or attempt to scan as text. I have no idea how accessible a document scanned as text via this HP software will be since I prefer to use Kurzweil for this. But I suppose it's possible that the HP scanning software would produce reasonably accessible text files. Of course, I'm answering this as somebody who is totally blind and depends on screen reading software to get anything meaningful from computer data. If you're scanning documents and sending them to persons that at least have reasonably functional sight there's probably no issue. And, if you were to send a "photocopy" image to somebody who has Kurzweil he/she could always run the attachment through the KESI Virtual Printer themselves to get a text rendering of the letter. I don't know if Open Book has a similar feature; a capability to have the Open Book Optical Character Recognition software serve as a "printer" to convert images into text. ---------------- Bill Gallik E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] God made man before woman so as to give him time to think of an answer for her first question.
